LOOK AT THIS EYE

I agree there are some high teen fish that roam the bay every year. I do not think many are caught however. It has nothing to do with being a skilled or unskilled fisherman. I just think there are more rumors of 15lb plus fish then there are actually 15lb plus fish being caught. Does anyone agree with that? I also believe that a guy who keeps 1 out of 75 fish over 10lbs that he has caught is hurting the fishery less that the guy who keeps 4 lil guys every time he goes out.

look at these pigs, all from oregon. The columbia river probably holds more big fish than quinte but overall I think quinte is a better fishery

even just take a look in the rivers if your bored when they run. I was shocked at seeing some of the massive eyes at lock 19 ( peterborough ) that come up from rice lake.

Is the 20.7 lber still the biggest on record for Quinte?

One eye i did get the chance to see was a few years back in late fall by the belleville bridge was a 16lber... massive fish!

ya ,a 16 is huge ,1 in 5,000,000 so what are they odds of a 19 or 20 being landed? about as easy as winning the lotto x 2,lol but its happened before and will happen again....somewhere!!! hopefully from the BAY!!:}

i have to agree with most on this thread.

to crack 15lbs on a real scale is a lifetime achievement.

to crack 16lbs is now beyond a lifetime achievement...your literally in a class if five or so anglers who have ever done it...

greater than 16lbs...well....i don't even know what to say about that....

i met russ cole a few years back....very friendly, down to earth, humble guy.....

who knows....but i've still yet to see a 15lbs'er on a scale, in person, since i've been fishing quinte...which started 2003.

WW , Russ Coles fish was a definate monster a freak for sure , but i consider a 15 lber a Dragon a mythical monster that may exist but can you say you seen one , yeah Dragons do exist ( Komodo ) I like to believe that the mark is achievable but very very rare , If you ever sit down and do the math how many anglers have fished the Bay since the start of the boom in 1976 , remember when the Napanee tournament alone would pull in 9000 anglers in one day , how about the guys that fish everyday all day for a living , the list is astronomical , the other thread showed some remarkable fish but notice that very few were claimed to be 15 lots of 14 + but seasoned fisherman can spot a true Dragon . Without a doubt this type of conversation is great to keep you keen and pump you up for the spring

.I think that one of the Board members here will slay the Dragon this year ,i just hope i am fortunate enough to be there to see it , come on ice out ,

Is it just me or did those Oregon pics look off, im not saying they are fake but something didn't look right?

my buddy just picked up the new Ontario Out Of Doors mag and he showed me the pic of the possible new ice record eye cant remember where it was caught but i think it was 33.7" by 19" i may be wrong but i think thats what it was..

Cheers,

Cody

33.7 x19 isn't that big really, i looked at the pic in the mag looks like only bout 12 pounds. my pb eye was 30x19 and it was only 9.12lbs. i think it was caught in manitoba
